Re: [dxwg] http or https in dcat:mediaType? (#1206)

I am with @jakubklimek on this one. Ignoring the protocol is not how identifiers are supposed to work -- an identifier is a string of characters, and a different string is a different identifier. I note that W3C has a [policy ](https://www.w3.org/blog/2016/01/w3-org-supporting-https-and-hsts/) that says "_The actual namespace will continue to use HTTP, even if it is also served through HTTPS_". 
The problem with IANA is that the references to their media types are not really identifiers, they're just URLs of pages on their website, and IANA, as far as I know, have no published persistence policy -- they can rearrange their site as they please and no-one can complain.
